Easy Pineapple-Ginger Sorbet

This sorbet screams exotic: the ginger’s heat does a flirty little mambo with the pineapple’s sweetness. Despite its flavor wallop, it’s a snap to throw together – perfect for those steamy summer nights when you want to cleanse your palette with something light.

ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • ½ tsp powdered ginger
  • ½ to ¾ cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch chili pepper

Serves 6-8

Process everything in the food processor until absolutely smooth, starting with ½ cup of sugar. Taste and add more sugar, in 2 T increments, if needed. (The amount you use will depend on your personal preference and the sweetness of the pineapple). Freeze in an ice- cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Don’t have an ice-cream maker? Make frozen pops. Half the recipe, pour into popsicle molds and freeze until hard.
